The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 146 It's Clearly a Dishonesty
Lv Bu seized Shouchun, and the soldiers searched from house to house.

All pretty women and strong men were driven to specific places in the city by the soldiers, waiting to be sent to Xuzhou.

After defeating Shouchun, Lu Bu would of course live in Yuan Shu's palace.

After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, in order to satisfy his selfish desires and show off his prestige as emperor, he expropriated the localities, so that all parts of Huainan were impoverished.

Shouchun has not developed for several years, but Yuan Shu's palace is resplendent.

Lu Bu stood outside the gate of the palace, and he felt an overwhelming aura of wealth and nobility rushing towards him.

Walking into the palace and looking around, Lu Bu said to Zhang Liao and others who were following behind him: "Yuan Shu is really good at amassing money. I have been here before, but I just came and went in a hurry. I really don't want to take a good look at it like this. I will take a closer look, his palace is really magnificent."

"If it weren't for the imperial palace's imposing manner, Huainan wouldn't be in such a poor situation." Zhang Liao shook his head.

"It's not considered poor, at least there are many good things here." Lu Bu grinned: "Send some soldiers to clean up the palace, and take away everything that can be taken away."

"What can't be taken away should be burned with a fire?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Burn it?" Lu Bu asked in surprise, "Why burn it?"

"If you don't burn it, why don't you leave it to Cao Cao?" Zhao Yun was also very surprised.

"Of course not." Lu Bu asked them, "Do you think Xudu is far away from Shouchun, or is Pengcheng far away from Shouchun?"

"It's about the same." Zhao Yun replied, "It's just that the road from Pengcheng to Shouchun is easier to walk."

"The road is easy to travel. Even if the distance is the same, the time it takes for the army to come is not the same." Lu Bu said: "Today's ally may be tomorrow's enemy. Huainan is too close to Shouchun, how can others sleep soundly on the couch? Once there is The accident happened, and this is the first thing we want to take down! After burning Shouchun, wouldn’t it be necessary to rebuild it?”

Lu Bu won Shouchun, Cao Cao hadn't said anything yet, and he considered turning against each other in the future.

Zhao Yun and the others looked at each other blankly, and Lu Bu greeted, "Let's go, go to Yuan Shu's harem to have a look. I heard that there are many beauties in Huainan, maybe you can find some attractive ones."

That night, Lu Bu lived in Yuan Shu's former bedroom.

The bedding in the bedroom was very soft, but when Lu Bu sat on it, he always felt that something was missing.

With his legs stretched flat, he finally figured it out.

The bedding is laid directly on the ground with flat ground on all sides.

Lying on the ground to sleep, the next morning will probably be sore all over.

If it wasn't for the crusade against Huainan, Lu Bu would have started making wooden beds.

Looking down at the bedding, he patted it a few times, secretly regretting that if such a soft bedding is placed on the bed, it must be very comfortable to sleep for a night.

Lu Bu was thinking about going back to Pengcheng to ask someone to build a bed, when the guards outside the gate reported, "Speak to Marquis Wen, Duke Xun asks to see you."

Sitting upright on the bedding, Lu Bu said: "I invite Mr. Xun."

The guard gently opened the door.

Xun You then walked in.

Seeing Lu Bu sitting on the bedding, he asked in surprise, "Wen Hou is going to sleep?"

"The siege is hard, and the bones in my body seem to be softening." Lu Bu replied: "I took Wen Yuan and others to search for a long time in the palace, but I didn't see a decent beauty. I also feel a little bored. Some sleep."

Xun You has black lines all over his head.

He clearly remembered that when Lu Bu led troops to attack the city, the defenders did not resist at all.

During the attack on Shouchun, the only thing Lu Bu did physically was to climb up the city wall himself.

If this is considered hard work, I don't know what he would say if he really went through a fight.

He was muttering in his heart, but Xun You couldn't say it out of his mouth.

He replied with a smile: "It was really hard work for Marquis Wen to capture Shouchun. I have followed Duke Cao for many years, and I have never seen anyone who can capture the city without bloodshed many times. This crusade against Huainan, Marquis Wen opened my eyes."

"Grand Xun is too praised." Lu Bu said, "Please sit down and talk."

Xun You took his seat: "I wonder when Marquis Wen plans to return to Xuzhou?"

"Duke Cao's army is not here. If I leave Xuzhou, I'm afraid that Zhang Xun and others will counterattack." Lu Bu said, "Duke Xun didn't bring many troops here."

"I didn't bring it with me, but Shouchun is not without soldiers to defend." Xun You replied: "Back then, Marquis Wen borrowed Qingzhou Army from General Xiahou, but now Shouchun is broken..."

"The soldiers were borrowed from General Xiahou, so of course they have to be returned to him?" Xun You expressed his intention to take back the Qingzhou Army, and Lu Bu stuffed him back with a word.

Xun You swallowed the remaining half of the words.

He asked Lu Bu: "Qingzhou Army is under Duke Cao's command. If General Xiahou doesn't come, is it possible that Wenhou won't return it?"

"Of course." Lu Bu said solemnly: "Of course I have to return it to whomever I borrow it from."

"Although it is said that the Qingzhou Army was borrowed from General Xiahou, but Duke Cao wanted to use it, so wouldn't Marquis Wen refuse to return it?" Xun You asked.

"Mr. Xun also knows that I am sincere." Lu Bu said: "I also know that the Qingzhou Army is under the command of Duke Cao, but the soldiers and horses are borrowed from General Xiahou after all. If I return them, General Xiahou will come back later. Ask me for it, where can I get another Qingzhou army?"

Lu Bu's words were straightforward, and Xun You knew that he was cheating, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute.

"Mr. Xun just asked me when I would return to Xuzhou. I thought about it. It's really inappropriate to stay in Shouchun. I'll leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Lu Bu got up: "It's getting late, I'll see you off."

Without giving Xun You a chance to speak, Lu Bu stood up and was about to see off the guests.

Just now he had no intention of leaving as soon as possible, but he suddenly decided to leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Xun You immediately understood that Lu Bu wanted to rely on the Qingzhou Army not to return.

Once Cao Cao arrives, Xiahou Dun is likely to follow him into Huainan.

When Xiahou Dun begged for the Qingzhou Army, and Cao Cao was still present, Lu Bu had to pay it back, or he had to pay it back.

It is clear that he wants to keep the Qingzhou Army in his hands, how could he let himself be passive?
Xun You was about to say something, but Lu Bu had already stepped forward to hold his arm, smiling all over his face: "It's getting late, I'll take Xun Gong out."

"You don't need Marquis Wen to send it in person, I have something to say..." Xun You tried to speak out what was pent up in his heart.

How could Lu Bu give him a chance to speak: "Since Mr. Xun doesn't want me to send it, I won't be polite anymore."

He shouted outside the door: "Come here, send Xun Gong off!"

The guard guarding the door entered the house, bowed to Xun You and said, "Grand Xun, please!"

The guard waited aside, Xun You knew that no matter what he wanted to say, he would never say it again.

After saying goodbye, he walked out of the room, and Lu Bu's voice came from the room: "Command the soldiers, take everything you need to bring, and try to set off for Pengcheng tomorrow!"
